First and foremost, Alfred is a wicket-taker who is capable of getting good players from Full Member countries out. He is the quickest bowler here and he is also able to swing the ball away from the right-hander and that pace and movement are two great assets for us to work on and develop. Bob Cottam (the bowling coach at the WTC) has been working on his rhythm in his run-up, making sure he is balanced as he approaches the crease and also ensuring he keeps his left arm high in delivery and avoids falling away as he bowls so that he can improve his consistency and accuracy. Those two elements are keys for Alfred. He has not played against good players often enough so another part of our role is to educate him in the right areas to bowl against high-quality batsmen.
